What was I doing?

My last visit home was meant only for a week but then my mum’s senti dialogues made me extend it by a week more. I had a mission for these days, capturing the best my city has to offer which I mostly did during the afternoons. However, evenings were not spared. My mum made me accompany her for almost all the daily soaps that she loved watching. 15 days and there I go……

• Pavithra Rista: Regular Saas Bahu story with loads of masalas. Saas’s character is my mum fav she keeps saying poor bahu I can certainly understand her situation. I did not bother to ask her what she understood.
• Uttaran: A triangular love story that is getting transformed in to square now. Such an idiotic tale.
• Baalika Vadhu: Nice concept but now no longer on the same track.
• Agle janam mohe….: Love story of a mistress, if I understood it correctly.
• Jyoti: Again a love story mixed with so many concepts that you fail to understand where its heading.
• Laagi tujse lagan: Pretty poor girl made to look ugly by her mum, escapes from a cop who hits on her. She falls in love with her employer who loves someone else unaware of her beauty, gosh..!
• Maan Uthal Varayacha – Marathi: Village girl married to a filthy rich boy in Mumbai. Plot is all about her struggle in getting accustomed to her new lifestyle and family. 

To my surprise after returning to Bangalore I started literally started tracking these dailies. Believe me its fun to watch and predict the next big thing. Its always someone dieing, escaping or some jerk hopping in from no where with those extra sound effects and multi dimensional angles. It turned out to be the ultimate end to my boredom in Bangalore when my assignment was getting over and I had minimal work to do.


Heights of my insanity was crossed when I and mum started discussing it over the phone. That’s when I said enough and thanked IPL for making the entry at the right time. Otherwise, god knows what would have had happened to me.
